[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 3759524, member: 45773"] I have really bad tinnitus. The VA just set me up with hearing aids a few months ago. They're nice enough. But very annoying to me. They seem to amplify annoying sounds like paper rustling or crunching, and little ticking sounds from various things. I thought maybe they were tuned wrong but went back to the audiologist and he checked my ears and the aids and said they should be exactly where I need them to be. I can't hear certain voices any better than I can without them. I was also told they might make the tinnitus less noticeable...they don't. As a matter of fact, when I take the hearing aids out the tinnitus seems worse. I rarely even wear them now. I do like the Bluetooth feature. Pretty neat to use a cell phone thru the hearing aids. I'm probably the exception, though. Most people seem to really see a quality of life improvement with them. I don't. [/QUOTE]
